Abstract excerpt
Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase A has an important role in sugar metabolism by interconverting ribose-5-phosphate and ribulose-5-phosphate. This enzyme is ubiquitous and highly conserved among the three kingdoms of life. We have solved the 2.1 A resolution crystal structure of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae enzyme by molecular replacement. This protein adopts the same fold as its archaeal and bacterial orthologs with...
